"It is a mistake to reason that belief can be mistaken."
I like to think, William, that you wouldn't stand for this Heidegger-mode
intentionally occult b.s. from anyone else on the forum.
Say I believe my razor is on the sink in my bathroom. Then I see it on the
shelf in the shower. From that, I reason my belief must have been mistaken.
If you say, "But that's not what I meant by 'reason' or 'belief' or
mistaken'," I claim you've supplied another instance of a misplaced faith in
the
dependability of words-without-a-description-of-the-notion-behind-them to
convey
what we have in mind.
The early analytic philosophers were wrong to think ALL confusion in
philosophy is a matter of fuzzy language, so, if we just cure
language-and-its-use,
all philosophical problems will dissolve. But MANY confusions are indeed the
result of inherent faultiness in language, compounded by cloudy using of the
faulty tool. Which is why I continue to beat what you call a 'dead horse'.
